Dear a, , & Everyone:

Hi, this is . I know I haven't posted in a long time. Things have

been basically manageable. For those who don't know me I have RA, OA, Fibro,

Osteoporosis, DDD, Spinal Stenosis, Frequent Gout, Sciatica,

a kidney transplant 18 years, Asthma, Atelectasis (a breathing disorder) with

severe shortness of breath when I walk, and a bad back which goes into spasms

when I walk, and walking is difficult, use a scooter a lot of the time. I am

in severe pain all the time too, but I am on pain medication which does help

all this. However, one week ago, my cat jumped on my chest, since then I have

had tremendous pain in my right side.

I have been to the ER and consulted with other Doctors too. Although, they

can't see this on xray they believe it to be a rib fracture. I think it is

too. However, the pain is incredible even with the pain medicine I take. I

don't know how much more of this I can take. I get a severe stabbing pain in my

right side every time I breathe. I am wearing a binder, which I take off at

intervals. One Doctor wanted to do a nerve block but I decided not to. I guess

I was afraid because they can't see this on Xray.

Does anyone have anything they could tell me about this. I have had it

before but not quite this severe. If anyone can give me any information on this

or

any recommendations I would appreciate hearing from you.

and what can you tell me about this situation that I should

consider, and anyone else too.

Thank you, I appreciate your help. I am running out of Doctors and ER's.

Sincerely,

Anjillah@...
